The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is the primary regulator of controlled substances in the United States. Established in July 1973 by President Richard Nixon, the DEA is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing the Controlled Substances Act. With over 11,000 employees, including special agents, intelligence analysts, chemists, and support staff, the agency has offices in all 50 states and more than 60 countries. The DEA’s mission is to enforce controlled substances laws and regulations in the United States and bring to justice those involved in the growing, manufacture, or distribution of controlled substances.
The DEA is organized into two main divisions: the Office of Enforcement Operations and the Office of Diversion Control. The Office of Enforcement Operations investigates and enforces the controlled substances laws of the United States, with four main sections: the Office of Field Operations, the Office of Special Operations, the Office of Criminal Investigations, and the Office of National Security Intelligence.
The Office of Field Operations is responsible for investigating and enforcing the controlled substances laws in the field, with eight field divisions across the country. The Office of Special Operations handles special cases, such as aviation, financial, information technology, and training operations. The Office of Criminal Investigations is responsible for criminal cases related to controlled substances, while the Office of National Security Intelligence deals with national security cases.
The Office of Diversion Control is responsible for preventing the diversion of controlled substances from legitimate channels to illegal ones. This division regulates the production, distribution, and dispensing of controlled substances and investigates illegal activities related to controlled substances.
If the DEA denies your registration application, you risk losing your right to practice your profession. There are many reasons why the DEA might deny your application, including a belief that you’re not qualified or that you pose a danger to the public. At Spodek Law Group, our lawyers can help you navigate the complicated registration process and protect your rights. We understand the complexities of DEA registration applications and denials and can help you file a successful petition. If your application is denied, we can help you get your registration reinstated by proving that you’re qualified to practice your profession.
The determination of whether your registration would be inconsistent with the public interest is based on several factors, including whether you have taken steps to prevent drug diversion and ensure controlled substances are used for legitimate medical purposes, compliance with local, state, or federal laws regarding controlled substances, prior criminal convictions related to manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing controlled substances, the provider’s level of experience in the distribution of controlled substances, and any other factors that may impact public safety and health.
